(Prepared by the United Statea Department of Afrlculture.) The success of marketing depends more than anything else upon efficient management and a thorough understanding on the part of the membership as to the possibilities and limitations of marketing, according to Chris 1 Chrlstensen, in charge of the division of marketing in the United States Department of Agriculture, who has Just made a tour of the counmethods. try studying Need Business Experience. "The Importance of having men with business capacity to head up organizations cannot be overestimated," Mr. Chrlstensen says. He declares that organizations are beginning to realize more than ever before that production and marketing are Inseparable, and that very often the solution of a marketing problem may be found to originate In production practices. Organizations are also learning that production must be to meet market demands. Visited the Northwest. Mr. Chrlstensen's study Included the marketing methods employed by farmers' organizations for handling fruits and vegetables, duiry products, poultry products, wool and grains. He visited twenty to twenty-fiv- e organizations In California. In Oregon he studied the wool marketing associations, and In North Dakota and Minnesota he Investigated the busi ness methods and practices of farmers' elevators to determine the factors that enter Into the efficient management of me elevators. three-month- s' Some Important Points About Ducks and Geese The laying season for ducks and geese usually starts In February. The Pekln duck lays about as many eggs as the average hen, but she lays her entire clutch In seven months, while the hen takes about nine months, says a writer In the Farm Journal. The Runner duck extends Its laying over a longer period. The goose averages about thirty eggs. Geese pair, but a drake will mete with four or more females. The eggs from yearling ducks hatch well, but to show strong fertility geese must be about three years old. Ducks can be profitably bred for four years, but geese will be proline for three or more times that period. Ducks rarely broody but geesa ars apt to become broody after laying the first clutch. The goose la a grazing bird, but the duck will thrive on a limited quantity of green food. Geese do not thrive when yarded; ducks do. The drake Is recognized by the curl In the tail feathers, but this curl Is not found on the gander. The average weight of the goose Is twice that of the duck. The older the gander the more he Is apt to become during breeding season. The drake seldom shows temper. Geese cannot be profitably hatched and reared artificially, but Incubators and brooders have revolutionized the duck business. Nowadays geese are replacing turkeys on many festive occasions. be-co- Feeding Milk Goats "There are no hard and fast rules for feeding goatt," says C. A. Leach, Jefferson county, Neb., who has a herd of Nubians. "One thing yo must keep in mind Is that the food used should be of a kind to produce a strong body as well as produce milk. We have found that corn, oats and shorts make a very good mixture fcr the older stock. We mix the feed In the ratio of 64 ponnds of oats, 52 pounds of corn and about 15 pounds of shorts. In addition to tills we f?ed all the good alfalfa hay the goats will eat." Vitamines Are Lacking Fall pigs suffer more from a lack of vitamines than from anything else. 1'lgs may hare a perfectly balanced ration In so fnr as protein, carbohydrate and fat are concerned but will not thrive without vitamines, which ore present In rye or wheat pasture, alfalfa or tweet clover hay, or fresh milk. When vitamines are added to ration the fall pig will a grow and fatten as rapidly aud eco oro!cJly as the spring pig. d Fruit Tree Protectors One can make his own fruit-tre- e comparatively little protectors at cost. Simply buy screen wire, 28 or 80 Inrhes wide. Then cut Into short atrip Just large enough to go around the tree. If they ere then rolled Into cylindrical shape, using a broomstick, they will curl around the trunk and hold that position, (lalvnnlzed screen wire, while more expensive, will last several seasons. Keep After the Weeds Just because the vegetable plants ere making a food showing as a result of the favorable showers and sunshine, It must not be forgotten that the weeds, too, are making even greater stride. Unless the weeds sre killed, within a short time they will get ahead of the vegetable plants and will crowd th latter ut. or sup the Ufa from the Plant. HOW GREAT MEN MAKE LOVE Early Attention Saves Worry When Rush Work Begins. Scarcity of labor and high prices for materials are making it Increasingly necessary for vegetable growers to adopt efficient methods. In the opinion of C. H. Nlssley, veg etable specialist at the New Jersey State College of Agriculture, New Brunswick, it Is now time to be planning for the repair of hotbed and coldframe sashes. If this work can be done during the spare time through the winter months, It will save much worry in the spring when rush work begins. Painting Is one ot the Jobs that might well be started. A linseed oil, white-leapaint will do much to lengthen the life of sashes. An espe cially thorough Job should be done at the mortised Joints. Homemade putty made according to the following formulas will give very good results and can be made at a saving of money. The following materials are used: For 261i pound lots: 5 pints of raw linseed oil, 3 pounds of white lead, 20 pounds of whiting. For lots : 1 pint of raw linseed oil, pound of white lead, 4 pounds of whiting. Cost per pound seven cents, not counting labor Thoroughly mix the white lead and oil. Stir Into this mixture enough whiting to make a stiff dough. Pour this on a board which has been sprinkled with a good layer of whiting to prevent the mixture from sticking to the board. Then knead, adding enough whlUng to give it the desired consistency. This putty will stay soft for an indefinite time If kept covered with water. For those who want them, there are numerous commercial materials on the market to take the place of putty for sash work. - d 54-poun- d AS REVEALED BY THEIR LOVE LETTERS Advance Opinions by Supreme Court? James M. Beck, solicitor general of the United States, speaking as guest of honor at a recent Pennsylvania society dinner in New York on "The Problem of the Supreme Court," suggested It would be in the Interest of public policy for the country's highest tribunal of Justice to give advisory opinions In advance of litigation under certain conditions. His proposal was that when congress by a Joint resolution signed by the President should request from the Supreme court an advisory opinion on proposed legislation, the constitutionality of which is in doubt, the court should comply. He said the court's power to refuse such aid cannot be questioned and It must be left to the discretion of the Justices whether they would comply with the request of congress. Aid should not be declined, he said, when a clear question of the Dower of conereaa to do a certain thing was involved In a concrete case and the proposed law wb wot a political Issue In the partisan sense. He did not suggest any new law to accomplish this result and cited an instance of 100 years ago, when President Monroe asked the Supreme court for advice as to the power of the federal government to make appropriations to be expended wholly within one state. The court, he said,' for the first and only time in its history, authorized one of the Justices to advise the President as to its opinion, which In this case was favorable.

All dairy calves should be on a light grain ration by the time they are old enough to be weaned from their milk, and this ration should then be increased at such a rate that the desired growth will be obtained. Feed Cows Liberally, Is Ohio's Recommendation That it pays to feed dairy cows liberally Is proven by the experience ot the Ohio experiment station. Increasing the feed not only increased the annual production but added a neat sura to the net profits. Under good average feeding, such as Is practical on many dairy farms. 23 cows gave an average annual production of 8,193 pounds of milk and 335 pounds of butterfat. The same cows during the year of heavier feeding averaged 13,548 pounds of milk and 508 pounds of fat ; or an Increase of 65 per cent in milk and 69 per cent In butter-fa- t. On the ordinary ration the feed requirement for each pound of butterfat was 15.5 units, costing 27.1 cents. On the heavy ration the requirement was only 13.7 units, costing 24.1 cents. Low Quality Butter stale cream Is the most Important cause of the low quality of butter. Cream, when held for a weoft even If kept at low temperature, develops an old flavor.
